LEGAL CULTURE AND DEMOCRACY: SOCIAL PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACHES AND CONCEPTS

Abstract

Free will is voluntary action, voluntary will, and law is official, i.e., universally binding norms established by the state. It is always up to the person to do the first or not, and not to do the second, he must follow these universally binding norms. However, such an approach should not lead to the absolutization of law, because a person is a social being who lives between free will based on the principle of discretion and law based on the principle of obligation. This characteristic of him is embodied in his social relations, living in the bosom of social life. The global events taking place in this region are primarily aimed at establishing democracy, ensuring human rights and freedoms, and forming a legal culture of the individual and society. Liberal-democratic ideas and normative-cultural reality formed in developed countries are models of social development, templates, according to which research work was studied.
